Ansbach, garden near Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, 2023-08-16 on Euonymus japonicus tachinidae.eu led me to a male Clemelis, but the wing venation looks like C. majuscula from Southern France. Is Clemelis correct? Not correct: male Compsilura concinnata Thank you for your comments, Eric eklans attached the following image:  [114.8Kb] Edited by eklans on 29-09-2023 11:42 |

I am thinking male Compsilura and the ocellars seem missing …. you can check the original. Thanks for the many angles ! Theo |

Thank you so much Theo! My silly mistake: I don't no why, but I've excluded Compsilura because I thought it should have bare eyes - which is of course not true! And yes, no ocellars! I see Compsilura frequently on Buxus (looking for Cydalima perspectalis, the Buxusmot?) Edited by eklans on 29-09-2023 11:51 Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

Nice. Compsilura is highly polyphagous, and I think the only Tachinidae regularly found in both Lepidoptera and Symphyta. And yes, it is atypical for a Blondeliini in having hairy eye, 4 post DC and so on. Males therefore are tricky. Compsilura is still common in southern Europe, but has become extremely rare if not extinct in large areas of central Europe, I haven’t found it since my youth. No idea what is happening. Theo |
